The Brasserie Kronenbourg is embracing the Irish spirit and inviting 300 people, fans of Guinness, to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day in an exclusive preview on Thursday, March 15th, at a pop-up pub in the heart of Paris, specially redesigned for the occasion!

To take part in this unique party, you’ll need to win your spot at one of 80 pubs throughout France during the evenings of March 2, 8, and 9, 2012.
To do so, choose one of the pubs in the list, head over there as a team of 3 people, and take part in a quiz on the theme of Guinness.

After the test, if you’ve answered everything correctly, you will still need to be drawn at random. If you are, you will receive an invitation and a wristband allowing you entry to the St. Patrick’s Day party by Kronenbourg.

On the program for the evening: music, a dinner buffet, and the official launch of a new beer in the Guinness range, with a presentation and tasting commented by Master brewers.

CONTEST bonus for my readers: I have 2 invitations (valid for 5 people each, so you can bring your friends along) to give away right here!

For this, it’s simple: just leave a comment below this article telling me about a memory or anecdote related to St. Patrick’s Day, and ensure you are available for this evening on March 15th at 9:00 PM in Paris! Good luck everyone!
